UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER — Filed 06/27/2026

The wiper settings cannot be adjusted every speed is high- (meaning, the wipers always go super fast) unless, its on auto. I dont alwaus want to use auto. My dealership tech now has "refused" to work with me anymore- or has encouraged me to find another dealership bc of all the random little things ive brought up aboht the car. Seems to frustrate him. Just 2 days ago- the car started leaking water thru the top of the liftgate when going through the car wash. (I do opt for touchless- btw)

STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES — Filed 05/26/2026

2025 Mazda CX-30 experienced a sudden complete loss of power while driving at highway speed with no prior warning lights or indications of malfunction. Immediately before shutdown, steering became extremely stiff due to loss of power steering assist. Vehicle was steered towards the shoulder during highway speed of 65mph and was electrically inoperable while rolling, this includes the loss of hazards, power steering and electronic brake lock engagement.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE — Filed 04/05/2026

On multiple occasions while driving in rain/snow/ice, the vehicle will initially throw an "i-ACTIVESENSE Partially Disabled Due to Camera Malfunction" error. This initially disables adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot detection, etc. This error immediately then cascades to throw a "Dynamic Stability Control Malfunction" error as well as an "ABS Malfunction" error, suggesting that both dynamic stability control and ABS are disabled. This issue has occurred roughly 50% of the time it rains/snows, and usually persists for 1-2 days even after fully clearing the windshield where the front camera system is located. This has caused me to have to drive the vehicle several times now in the rain and snow without ABS and dynamic stability control active -- this is a serious safety issue. It is understandable for a front camera malfunction to disable sensing features (like lane keeping), but this should not disable necessary safety features such as ABS and stability control. It is clear that there is a cascading sensor malfunction in this vehicle (possibly related to an earlier similar recall in 2024 models), that causes serious safety concerns.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE — Filed 02/03/2026

The vehicle has major electrical issues. The ABS and all over driver safety options would shut off for days at a time. I had purchased this cx30 as new on January 02, 2026. It totally died and wouldn't start on February 03, 2026. It had to ve towed by mazda roadside assistance to Towne Mazda dealer in Orchard Park NY. It is now March 12, 2026 and the dealer has had my vehicle for over a month. They put a new wiring harness in it ans other components. Very frustrating.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER — Filed 02/27/2026

While driving on the highway our sunroof exploded with no impact. The glass blew up outwards causing a loud gunshot like sound. We had the sunroof closed (not in use) and there were no vehicles around us for any asphalt or rocks to cause impact.

I have been having repeated issues with the doors not autolocking, liftgate functionality, rear seat sensor, and random (collision?) warnings/sensors - among other settings that keep coming undone (audio options, etc) since the purchase of this car that I have been diligently notating/timestamping- i have close to 200 occurences so far. Just submitting another report to let you know it is STILL happening and IS NOT user error.
